Another good edit! I'm already starting to miss the summer. I think i might have 2 trips left - going down to Austin TX this week and going to try to get on the Colorado in town, and then i think the weather will hold one more week in November for me to get out for my last paddle. Until next time!

I have not put my canoe away yet. But I took the small motor out on the big boat and ran the gas out of it. As I said before. I have to get into the water to load the canoe onto the trailer. And the water temp is getting into the low 60s here. So, I really don't want to get my feet wet. So the canoeing is done for me this year. I still take the big boat out and do some fishing. That craft, I can use all winter if there is not ice on the water. I have some stoke footage of me going out. So I can make a few videos for winter months to show. But, I am already missing the canoe! We'll chat this winter. Later dude!!!

@@Ralphcanoeingadventures Well i might have an advantage on you there then, i'm able to launch and land with a good pair of boots :D I've got a 14' alumacraft semi-v that i can put out as well, but all of the ramps near home are terribly low. I think i'm just going to focus on cleaning and restoring my gear for next year

@@rootwad I have wader boots, but look stupid in them. I still have the big boat to go out in. That I can use all winter, if no ice.

@@DCFloridasport I have to put #140 in front to keep the bow down. Canoes are more stable with the whole bottom on the water surface. When I open it up. The canoe gets a little tippy. Your Jon boat can go in prity shallow water. I had a few Jon boats. Very practical in shallow water. But not good in rougher water. They bet the hack out of you. Thanks for subscribing.
